[edit] Thatcher and Ingram

I just added {{fact}} to this:

It is commonly thought that Margaret Thatcher famously used this phrase in the 1980s. "Anyone who thinks the ANC will form the government of South Africa is living in cloud cuckoo-land" However, it was actually a misquotation of her spokesman, Bernard Ingram.

Two objections. First, the line is written in quotes as though it is a direct quote, yet web searching reveals those exact words are found on WikiClones only. Second and far more important, I find no cites that Ingram said those words. It's completely consistent with Ingram's position (a position he kept long after Thatcher embraced Mandela), and in 1987 he would have been saying it for Thatcher, but that falls short of verification.  Randall Bart   Talk  21:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
